Accessible healthcare and freedom from gun crime is SUCH a burden. Dodged the bullet there; proverbially, of course, as bullets are more an American thing.

Y'all shit the bed on Brexit though. Imagine if the US let Texas leave

But at least I'm not required to drink tea.

[–] echodot@feddit.uk 3 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Yeah just because you lot can't make tea. I get it, it's hard, it's boiling water on leaves, it's like two whole steps.

[–] Hydra_Fk@reddthat.com 1 points 3 months ago

Lol you got me. The first step of opium wars in China is just so hard for me.

Last time I was in London there was a shooting near Tower bridge

Since you guys want to be assholes about it, here’s some data to back up the fact that you have a fairly substantial amount of gun crime

[–] corsicanguppy@lemmy.ca 9 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Remind me of the date and I'll tell you where the 1-7 daily mass shootings in America were for that day.

Wasn’t suggesting we don’t have gun violence. Merely correcting your statement of “freedom from gun crime”

[–] NigelFrobisher@aussie.zone 6 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Did they catch you?

[–] NegativeLookBehind@lemmy.world 1 points 3 months ago

Not that time m8

[–] uienia@lemmy.world 4 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Ah yes, that singular anecdote definitely cancels out the actual statistics on the subject.

[–] echodot@feddit.uk 1 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

Anyway everyone knows London doesn't count as part of the UK.

[–] supamanc@lemmy.world 3 points 3 months ago (1 children)

I'll bet that every single place named Tower Bridge in the USA has had a shooting incident. Probably in the last year.

[–] NegativeLookBehind@lemmy.world 0 points 3 months ago

Yup, you’re probably right. I was arguing the wording, not the numbers.

Laughs in EU

[–] Dirk_Darkly@sh.itjust.works -1 points 3 months ago (2 children)

I agree. Getting stabbed by a gang of children is definitely better.

[–] corsicanguppy@lemmy.ca 8 points 3 months ago

For every case, it's easier to flee X number of kids with knives vs X number of kids with guns.

The "oh knives aren't safe either so toss the entire argument" has always been a bit of a sad joke.

[–] uienia@lemmy.world 6 points 3 months ago

The US also has a higher rate of stabbings per capita than the UK though.
